Now that Apple offers a pretty nice deal with their $499 Mac mini, I was
gettin' all excited until I realized that I do all my development/web
programming/etc. with Euphoria! Does Euphoria work on Mac OSX yet?!
No, it's not crucial. I will keep my Windows box and FreeBSD box. But...

I don't know how much x86 code there is, but if it's fairly generic, it
shouldn't be too much work getting it to compile.
I ported the command line version of my wxBasic interpreter over to the Mac
using the free Mac tools with very little effort. It's basically the same as
the Linux version, with only one or two #includes differing.
If you have the Euphoria source and a very fast x86 machine, you could try
compiling it under Darwin running the PearPC emulator. The JIT version
apparently only goes 15 time slower than a real PowerPC (the "generic"
version runs about 500 times slower).
I'd offer to try it myself (I've got temporary access to a Mac), but I'd have
to figure out how makefiles work first...
